Lore

The battle with the evil lich was long and fierce, and now the rotting corpse lies at your feet, waiting for you to scavenge the gold and loot you fought for. Clutched in the lich’s grasp is a shining magical sword, but what magic lies within? Dare you grab it? With a skill in Item Identification, you can assess the sword and learn the power it embraces.

Active Use

To use Item Identification you can either set a Macro, take out the Skill Gump Icon, or press the blue button next to its name in the Skill Gump. Doing so will bring up a targetting cursor and as a system message asking, "What do you wish to appraise and identify?"

Target the item you want to learn about. There are two possible outcomes:

  • Failure - A message over your head says, "You have no idea how much that item might be worth."
  • Success - A message over your head says, [Name of Item] "You guess the value of that item at: [amount in gold]"

Training

To train Item Identification, use the skill and target an item. Each item you target has a chance to gain.

  • Item Identification has Anti-Macro Code in place. If you do not gain on an item, you can not gain on that item until a successful gain on different item.
